Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 3850754, member: 34"] Spot on. Kinda. Several posters, myself included, brought up Gaff's turd of a game. Good thing was, Gaff was the only player who played worse than a B/C+. Sanogo was only other player who "struggled" with some catches but he was still a presence overall. I want Jackson to shoot 3's. His 3 reminds me of a Rochester, NY kid who went to Syracuse, Tony Scott. I was living up in Rochester at the time and got to watch some HS and pick up games with him. Tony would shoot the same percentage in warm ups, wide open in a game and contested shots in a game. He could bury a few in a row and then have one hit the side of the backboard like Jackson did on Saturday. All I know is I want Jackson taking those shots and getting comfortable taking those shots. Same with Whaley. Whaley had a game earlier this year where one of his 3's wedged between the rim and backboard. I've never seen a shot do that from the angle Whaley shot. He also had one hit the back of the rim and just die in to the basket. No bounce, no nothing. It was like a sack of potatoes. Anyway, I want him shooting too. Front end 1-1 misses was another area I too noticed (I'm sure all of us noticed since we went from feet up on the leg rest of the sofa to sweating out the last 30 seconds). And true to form, Gaff who had been lights out all year with his FT's blows it and Cole who has been a roller coaster, sinks all or almost all his. In the end, yes, making 3's always makes a game easier than missing 3's. I'm still not convinced the early afternoon game in Providence with all the light coming in from the windows doesn't make for a funky shooting envivonment if you are not used to it. [/QUOTE]
